Guildmarm/Sophia WIP 3 - Finale

Image
 Hello everyone! I finally did it! I finished Guildmarm! Took me a long time, but here she finally is! I'm going to talk about the rest I had to make and show the finished result, so let's go! So last time I finished the undershirt, pants and whatnot, lol. This time it's the huge red belt and the cuuute little froggy-bag aaa! cutieeee~❤ With the belt I decided to go with the oldest trick, foam covered in fabric! I cut out 3mm strips of foam and glued them together. This would be the base of the belt. Then I took shiny-ish red fabric I had and covered the foam with it. I first top stitched and then added some glue to the wrong side for extra secure. The inside looks ugly, but it's not going to be visible, so no worries. Here is she I added some eyelets The belt buckle and whatever that part is on the end of the belt are both made out of foam. Some 3mm craft foam, cut and glued with contact glue, then covered in gesso (2-3 layers). Lastly painted and varnished. :3 There i...

Guildmarm/Sophia WIP 2

 Hello! I finally continued with our favorite guildmarm again! This time we're making pants, shoes, blouse and cuffs! I also restyled the wig and didn't shove it in a bag again. Instead it's going to keep it on a wigstand until the costume is retired or I want to wash my wig. Also I fixed the closing hook on the jacket so it stays closed now and doesn't open whenever it feels like it lol. Starting from the pants! I didn't find any grey fabric with white stripes, so I sewed on some stripes from white fabric. I haven't sewn pants much, I can recall making a pair once maybe, so it was definitely exciting process. I used a regular pants-pattern and just modified it. Pieces cut with stripes sewn on Testing. A little snug, but they fit. The white detail on the pant leg is made out of white felt fabric and the red stitches are strips of red faux leather. White felt Cross-details Finished pants! Shoes are actually Linkle's old shoes that I modified. I was very happy...

Hey everyone! As I am writing this it's Valentine's Day! It's no that big where I live, but I still wanted to do something fun. I first considered a makeup test, but since the top part of Guildmarm is done, I decided to photoshoot her a little. Basically just some portrait photos, but still. Hope you like these! Cosplayer: Yours truly Photographer: Kim Ratavaara Tell Brachy he has a nice tail ❤ Obligatory selfie BONUS As I was dressing up my cat needed attention ❤ Happy Valentine's day everyone!

 Hi everyone! ^^ Long time no see! I've been super busy with work and moving in, but I'm trying to balance my life now so that I have more time to actually be creative and work on costumes a little more. I try to make progress everyday, doesn't matter how small. Sometimes it's literally just one layer of paint or a little bit of hand stitching, but it's better than nothing, right?  Today I wanted to show off some progress I've made on Guildmarm or Sophia from Monster Hunter 4. It's honestly about time I make a MonHun-cosplay! Also about time to do a cosplay makeup test! Haven't practiced cosplay makeup in such a long time and it shows... ^^'' Makeup is all about practice after all, heh. Sadly I don't have all the progress pics I needed, but here's at least some of them. Enjoy! The base jacket... Added details! (missing lining) The jacket was definitely the most difficult part so far! Not that I've done that much, but regardless! The l...
